Abstract

Es wird eine Automationszelle zur Handhabung von Teilen (31) angegeben, mit einem nach außen abgeschlossenen Handhabungsraum (11), innerhalb dessen eine Ladeeinrichtung (12) zur Aufnahme mindestens eines Teileträgers (30, 30a) in Horizontairichtung und in Vertikalrichtung verfahrbar angeordnet ist. In den Handhabungsraum (11) können Teile (31) mit Hilfe einer Zuführeinrichtung (29) ein- bzw. ausgeschleust werden, die vorzugsweise als Transportwagen ausgebildet ist und vorzugsweise mit einer Unterlage (33) zur Aufnahme eines Teileträgers (30) in Arbeitshöhe ausgebildet ist. Die Teileträger (30, 30a) können durch eine Ladeöffnung (56), deren Öffnen und Schließen vorzugsweise automatisch gesteuert wird, in den Handhabungsraum (11) überführt werden.

An automation cell for handling parts (31) is specified, with a handling space (11) closed off from the outside, within which a loading device (12) for accommodating at least one parts carrier (30, 30a) is arranged to be movable in the horizontal direction and in the vertical direction. Parts (31) can be introduced or removed into the handling space (11) with the aid of a feed device (29), which is preferably designed as a transport carriage and is preferably designed with a base (33) for receiving a parts carrier (30) at working height . The parts carriers (30, 30a) can be transferred into the handling space (11) through a loading opening (56), the opening and closing of which is preferably controlled automatically.
